Sreesanth constantly bowls around 140 in opening spells.

I just hope Indian bowling be much better this time and all those youngsters like Sreesanth and RP should get chance to play. I don't want Khan or Agarkar. They both suck! Asif is way better than both of them. And, Asif bowled really well today. I'm looking forward to see how he bowls in ODI if he's selected which he should be after these performances.

Well I wouldn't remove Agarkar. As he's a wicketaker then surely he'll be able to rip pakistan batting. I don't know about Zaheer. Now I started to hate him he's only good in first class not in international.
 
This is my lineup for the first ODI:
Gautam Gambhir
Sachin Tendulkar
Virender Sehwag
*Rahul Dravid
Yuvraj Singh
Mohammad Kaif
+MS Dhoni
Irfan Pathan
Ajit Agarkar
Harbhajan Singh
Sreesanth
super sub- Suresh Raina
We don't want Murli. He sucks! Sehwag, Sachin, Yuvi and Raina can bowl few overs, so why would be need him?

I think that's the perfect lineup.
 
Bowling Coach

I agree India really should invest in a bowling coach as it has proved a success to the England team.

Bowling Coach Kya Gadhon ko Race Ke Ghode Banayega?

Is the Bowling coach going to make Donkeys into RaceHorses?

What story you talking about.

Funny cartoons. Ganguly Out

The blog you posted.

Funny cartoon. :clap But I hope he will get another chance. Because he is not to blame for the loss. He did better then some other players.

And Zaheer Khan did pretty well I would say. He is the highest wickettaker of India, although he got some lose wickets at Faisalabad, because Pakistan already scored a lot of runs.

And without doubt Sehwag and Tendulkar will open the innings in the ODI series. If there will be a specialist opener I think Jaffer should have a chance.

From Pakistani side I don't know yet if Malik, Farhat or Iqbal will play. Akmal will open the innings along Butt I guess, but how to fit in these other guys. Malik can bowl also, so that's handy.
 
Agarkar

Along with ripping Pakistan's Batting Agarkar will also chip in with the bat by scoring a couple of fifties. He can be quite nippy, can reverse swing, provide vital breakthroughs, and can murder bowling attacks in the slog overs. He is India's Freddie Flintoff!!! :cool:

He reaches in somewhere near 140's.!!

If he perform well then he's likely to cause Pak batsmen all sorts of problem.Another guy that can do well with bat is Kaif, who has a good record against Pakistan.

I wonder why Munaf Patel is not being selected for national team, the guy has done well in RT and has matured alot lately.An express fast bowler like Munaf can wreck Pak batting lineup if he plays upto his potential.

Well Pathan is going to be world class bowler and batting which is usually allrounder. Even the commenter have mentioned too when I was watching India vs Sri Lanka. About the opening should be Ghambhir and Shewag.
 
I think Gambhir can be the super-sub and open when Indians are chasing totals which they will be and that too in excess of 300. And as far as Sachin is concerned his form had already taken a dip back in SL series so no hope from him although I'd still back him to hit a few slow ones.

Well I want Tendulkar to sit out one match and try the youngster everytime I hope him to perform but he doesn't do anything.
 
Shoaib had been singled out for a defective action twice in his career, but was cleared by the University of Western Australia's testing centre in 2001 when it was determined that he had an abnormality in his elbow.

Gee these elbow abnormalitys are common nowdays. Seems it's abnormal to have a normal elbow.

There is an inter-relation. everyone expects Tendlya to fire and he also knows that so he gets bogged down by the pressure. I wonder what goes on in his mind. Guess what an Indian cricketer actually doesn't care what does the public thinks of him otherwise one series failure is enough to put anyone to shame but no!! they just show up again cause the money still need to flow otherwise e.g. Ganguly would've retired by now. The Tendulkar case is heading Arvinda De Silva way. He probably won't be dropped and won't bow out so easily cause the sponsorship deals and contracts require a player to be playing at least.
But slowly and steadily he will loose support as I always find. Barring this Planet Cricket forum everybody I meet in person has got some enlightening things to say about Tendulkar. I just post those comments here but nobody agrees with me.

Actually thats right. These days every new Pakistan bowler I m seeing seems to have a suspect action. I think the 15 degrees law is stupidity and bureaucracy. even if it'd mean some of out own Indian bowlers getting banned. People like Lee, Mcrath, Warne, Walsh, Amrose didn't need to bend their arms to be on top.

Now I started hating him even though I'm his big fan cause I'm from Mumbai as he is also from Mumbai. He use to be my huge fan before but he doesn't perform wonder what happen to him.
